There is an obvious middle ground solution:
In order to fight best for your chosen faction, use the best and right tools for every situation. Be flexible.
Use the whole spectrum of the gear available.
(practical hint: flaylock is very good against scouts, extremely good vs fast / heavily damped ones)

Nothing good comes from willingly limiting yourself in any way, not in life and not in any games, not just DUST 514. Having a role-playing outlook on the game is cool, and being loyal to one faction to the point of only using equipment related to that faction is an interesting way of playing, but you sacrifice being versatile in order to do so. This is your choice, you could train any Skills and use any weapons, unlike some other games where race and bloodline or a character class actually limit your choices in game.
Wow!
I was just about to post the same!
Using tools manufactured ONLY by corporations originated in on of the four major empires IS a role playing choice.
(and not even a well reasoned one as: 1. Mercs want to win at any cost and are 'international' 2. Hardly any Eve NPC corporation is limited to it's original empire, example: Even Imperial Armaments have factories in Minmatar space)

Honestly, anyone playing exclusively with roleplaying limitations shouldn't take part in balance discussions.

They can contribute in how their racial weapons perform when fitted to the racial frames. Let's avoid "someone is different from me and therefore wrong" arguments please.
I stand behind my strong and admittedly sentiment-awakening statement.
At best those people are empty noise. At worst they are distorting the grand community feedback, calling for buffs for things that do not need it.
An example following the exact same logic, yes an unlikely one but an extreme one for example's sake:
"I claim that Caldari Heavies need a huge +300% EHP buff because they are so weak in point defence and cannot kill masses and suck solo. (I fail to mention in my post I use only forge guns because of faction role play reasons)."
Now while cal sent might need some love and FG is a great AI-weapon, having people make those claims for distorted reasons would in turn distort the player feedback.

Main issue is there is still some weapons better than other. And i mean honestly there sould be some global balance. Without it we will still have here FoTM for example. But right now i do not see issue here. . . .
For the devs, it is hard enough to reach a grand game wide balance.
Adding subgame meta balance fully into consideration, would complicate the big balance tremendously.

Use the whole spectrum of the gear available. (practical hint: flaylock is very good against scouts, extremely good vs fast / heavily damped ones) Again, you've missed the central point of my post. I'm trying to find the best ways to use CALDARI weapons against the other races. It appears that even from CCP, there is no answer to this.
Because you are asking the wrong question.
But I'm gonna answer it anyways:
Use flaylock to counter the mentioned shotgun scouts. It is a rocket, a sort of missile. In space Caldaris are one of those who specialise in them.

It's not a role-playing choice. It's an acknowledgement of something that CCP has fundamentally missed. Each race's suits will have been optimised for that race's weaponry. To think otherwise is ridiculous. CCP has dropped the ball in not making this game correct and reasonable.
From the underlined part of your post, we entered the world of imagination, speculating in background lore. Therefore, role-play.
In that world, I can't prove you wrong and you can't prove me wrong. It is no use to argue, for either of us.

Yes, but the flaylock is NOT a Caldari weapon, and I'm not training it. I don't know how many times I have to repeat this. It's OK for you to think that's ridiculous but it's a given, so there's no point in continually saying this weapon or that weapon or whatever equipment, if it's not Caldari.
But if we stick to lore, it IS a rocket weapon
